Posting this again for those that keep seeming to have issues

I know how frustrating problems can be as I soft bricked mine two days ago attempting to do a Nand restore back my last GB rom from CWM and then spent four hours trying to get my PC to see my phone so I could use ODIN. Here's my method that worked flawlessly for me.

1. Turn phone off and use your jig to put into download mode (get one if you don't have one. Best $10 I ever spent at MobilTechVideos)

2. Open Odin and install 897uckf1 bootloaders package found here http://www.team-continuum.net/home/i...3e0&topic=17.0

3. When done, remove battery and put back in and then put back into download mode

4. Flash TalonDev Kernel (also provided in above link )

5. when done reboot phone. You will now be stock/rooted GB with CWM. Turn phone off

6. Reboot into recovery (vol up then power button, release power soon as you see the GT-I9000 screen and keep vol up held down till you see orange CWM

7. Wipe Cach/Dalvik/Data factory reset. Flash ICS RC2.11

8. reboot. You should be stuck in the boot mode now (rainbow boot animation). pull battery and reboot into recovery.

9. Flash ICS RC2.11 again no wiping

10. Select advance then "reboot recovery" If it does reboot CWM pull battery and use button combo

11. Flash Nush 3180

12. Reboot. You should now have working RC2.11

13. Reboot into recovery

14. Flash RC3. No wipe. Kernel will be overwritten with Platypus Kernel

15. Reboot and you should be good to go with RC3

I'm sure there are plenty of other methods but this is what always works for when all else fails.

Same here...Gallery working fine and rather quick. And after a few cycles of letting it get down below 10% then charging to 100% I know get a full day fairly easily (~18-20 hours some slow days).
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Android.process.media

FIX FOUND (fixes gallery issues also)

Did hours of research and found this fix if you are having "android.process.media has stopped working"

Settings/manage apps/all/download manager/clear data

Don't ask me how or why but it works
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Just a warning to go with this: this will wipe most of your data on your phone! make sure you backup before doing it!!
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Didn't lose/wipe anything on mine but would have still been worth it if it had.
[Captivate Android Development] UberFiend:
Decided to take the plunge last night and flashed, and honestly I'm probably going to table my gs2 for a while. this is awesome. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
Way better from GB (2.3). from merely 4hrs or life its ~15hrs with good amount of usage:)

Flash Problem?

Trying to flash the ROM from Legend 2.4 and Corn kernel. It looks at the zip file and post a lot of "stuff" but goes away before I can read it.

Steps I took:

Powered down

Recovery via keys

data wipe

cache wipe

installed zip.......fails

When it boots back up it's as before, missing data of course. :D

What next........odin to stock with root??? Hope not.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
There's 2 things you can try.

Option 1

- Flash the latest Nushor kernel located at http://ics.darkirc.me (make sure you flash the captivate kernel)

- Reboot into recovery

- Flash 3.1

Option 2 (If option 1 does not work)

- Flash the latest stable CM7

- Reboot into recovery

- Flash the latest Nushor kernel located at http://ics.darkirc.me (make sure you flash the captivate kernel)

- Reboot into recovery

- Flash 3.1

If the first option doesn't work then the second one should do the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
Booting

Step one worked but scared me. After installing the kernel it still would not load the ROM. Tried to start phone and went into boot loops. Went back into CW and the ROM LOADED this time!

Thanks a lot! Not to try it out.:D
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer96:
I'm getting an error flashing RC3.1

I Flashed from TeamHackSung's -> Miui -> This (except it's giving my an error and refuses to install. I wiped my dalvik/cache/data, etc.

Any help guys?
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
That's what was happening to me just now. Follow the advice given two post above......worked for me!
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Sorry, forgot to mention the reboot into recovery steps. Shame on me for thinking it was implied :(

(Just shows you how often I flash)

Edit: I updated the steps in my above post to make it less "confusing". Hope it helps!
[Captivate Android Development] btyre:
This version seems to have a lot more graphical glitches (green flashes, most common when unlocking) in this version that previous, but overall it's really smooth.

Great work guys. Just can't wait until Chainfire3D updates.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
Question & Problem?

Is there more than one keyboard in the ROM? If so, how to change it......long press in text field does nothing, so far.

When the screen shuts off, the power button does not bring it back to life.. couple of pushes on it and it reboots into recovery??????
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
First flash Nushor's kernel from ics.darkirc.me and then ROM package. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
1. Only one keyboard comes with it. You can install the Swype beta keyboard which looks real nice on it.

2. Could be a bad flash? Try wiping data/cache/etc. first. If that doesn't fix it, then reflash (you only need to flash the ROM instead of the other steps this time)
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Anybody know if Nurshor's #3189 Kernel Support Touch Keys "Backlight Timeout" in the Galaxy S Settings menu?

I know #3183 does not.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Not sure if Nushor's does or not, but I do know that the pre-loaded (for 3.1) Platypus kernel does.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
???

Tried both....still dies when screen goes off. Hmmmm is there a setting somewhere that I may have screwed up??

Bummer, everything else works great, so far. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Yea, unfortunately 3.1 did not play well with my phone. "Soft bricked" after a couple days. Not sure if kernel related or not. Anyway still wasn't able to get back to 3.1 without the same issue. So 2.11 it is for now. Just tired of the softlights always being on with the screen.

That was happening to me until I loaded NSTools and noticed that Deep Idle was set to 'ON'. My phone refused to wake up when it was enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
Mine was set to off...........seems turning off all the keyboard sounds, etc MAY be causing it. Turned them back on and working so far. May try turning them off one at a time and see what happens.

Edit: Going back to Legend 2.4 for now. Keep checking in and maybe try later.

Thanks for all the help and tips!
[Captivate Android Development] crecsky:
My phone was working wonderfully, now I get the green screen as the screen turns off and the lockscreen is unresponsive sometimes.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, just realized it's likely changing the window animations to fast using spare parts. (Although I still get a quick screen flicker).
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer96:
What's the best way to overclock on this rom? Should I stick with SetCPU?

My quadrant score is noticeably lower than when I was using MIUI. It has gone from 2200+ -> 1,300. Is that normal? Is everyone else getting the same score on their phones too?
[Captivate Android Development] pandakh:
im trying to flash the rc3 and i can't install it. In the recovery screen once i choose the file to initiate the installation i get a message "assert failed". I tried downloading the file again, master clearing, flashed it again and still get the same message. Ive flashed other rc's but this is the first time i get this issue. Any help? btw im flashing from cyanogenmod nightly 181.
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer96:
Go back 2 pages, follow the steps for the post with 2 methods to fix the problem. Method one worked for me (install the kernel THEN install RC 3.1).

Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] pandakh:
Thanks, silly me got frustrated and forgot to check other posts.
[Captivate Android Development] color0:
3D graphics on RC3 isn't polished yet, so Quadrant scores are going to suffer -- if you look at every other field in Quadrant's analysis, ICS is comparable to some of the fastest non-MTD Gingerbread ROMs out there. Besides, the low scores are not an indicator of actual usage performance, due to the way the tests are run (and NOT run). The 1300 Quadrant be damned (I'm still getting ~1700, so maybe yours could use a bit of tweaking?), RC3 is smooth and fast, and that's what really matters. Heck, with the data speeds fixed even Internet performance is faster than on my favorite older Gingerbread ROMs (CM7, Illuminance, Darky's).

I'm having trouble using NSTools to manipulate the kernel (no settings are sticking), so I froze the app and am using SetCPU to overclock to 1.2GHz and stuff the minimum clock back down to 100MHz. 1.3GHz works, but is unstable for me (at any voltage) for any app involving intensive graphics processing. 1.46GHz seems unusable, I guess some people just got the lucky chip and are able to take advantage of that high clock speed...
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
use nstools if you are using platypus to OC
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You don't have to. In my case my phone dislikes live oc. So I use voltage control.
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
I am using VC now too after seeing your screens. Seems to be working better for me.

What do you mean by live overclock though, and why your phone doesn't like it?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Voltage control ocs the cpu and modifies the I/O schedule. Live oc means you also oc the fsb wich is the bottle neck of the phone. That oc on fsb increases cpu clock as well
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
my phone is doing awesome with live oc over clocked to 124%... its super fast and responsive with very good battery.... had do some research before i could find good settings for live oc tho
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
My phone can't take 105% on 1ghz. My phone just can't take it.
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
i have read that sometimes OCing in different order helps like increasing the arm and int voltages before touching the live OC...... but every phone is different so maybe urs just cant lol
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I did increase int voltage. I did not increase ARM voltage. I Like to under volt ARM not over volt specially on 1ghz. Though I did it with regular ARM voltage and over volt internal volt.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:

[mod edit - removal of moderated material]

Try flashing the nushor kernel 1st from cm7 and then flash this build, hopefully it will fix the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
The reason he says that is because IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED. Read a few pages, search for keywords so you can narrow it down. It gets annoying to keep saying the same thing over and over whenever someone decides to not follow XDA rules and NOT READ.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Developers, I just wanted to state a few issues my phone has been having and is worsening day by day. The "stock" ROM 3.1 was installed when it came out and ran and installed fine from 2.1 and I didn't have any issues but now a few days later they are starting to come out.

When I turn on the phone using the power button my lock screen freezes (starting to happen every time).

When shutting off phone using the power button I'm getting a yellow flash of a screen.

Screen froze for about 15 seconds then the colorful boot screen came up and booted again. (Starting to happen more often)

Thank You!
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
To be fair, this has been asked a hell of a lot in the last 10 pages or so. I know because (I think) I was the first one to ask it. The answers are right there. Either flash a Nushor kernel first or find the post with a slightly edited version of the ROM from a 10 pages or so back.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Yeah, we know about the lockups, and the screen discoloration is caused by Voodoo Color, but the problem is every time we remove Voodoo Color e everyone starts complaining. To fix it, open Voodoo Control and raise your gamma levels until it stops happening. As for lockups and reboots, we know but its not very prevalent for us so it is difficult for us to test. If you are overclocking then that would be the reason for the instability.

Screen brightness

I've looked around and cant seem to find a good answer for this. On my Captivate, the screen is very dark when on Auto Brightness. I can turn off auto brightness but then I have to mess with the brightness all the time when the lighting changes. I noticed that if I manually turn the brightness all the way down I get the same effect as when I turn on auto brightness. Anyway, is there anything in the works to change the default brightness for auto brightness and make it a little brighter? I noticed in the Wiki that auto brightness doesnt adjust. Mine seems to adjust a little, but never really gets bright enough to read in normal lighting conditions.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Hi guys.. Great work on RC3, for me, it's doing awsome !

The only problem I have now is my wifi crapping out like it used to do on RC2.11 before Nushor's 3189 kernel.

Wifi says it's connected to router, but wifi icon is grey and internet does not work.

A switch wifi to off, then on, and everything is fine again for a couple of minutes until it craps out again.

Anyone else has that problem ?
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
As far as I know, it's just ICS's way to conveniently let you switch input methods. I'm not a fan myself, as it's something I hardly ever have to do.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Could someone point me to where I can find the image used (of the android) while flashing the rom? It's a great HD image I would like to incorporate into a boot screen for a tablet rom.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Should only pop up if you have a keyboard currently running.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I could be wrong but I think this may be one of those kinks that some well have to deal with. Mine seems to be spot on but occasionally will act up as you have described. But as awesome as this ROM is I can live with it. Our phone is now basically like putting a brand new mustang engine in a 1914 Model T. Some minor kinks may never get figured out but the good outweigh the bad.

Don't you worry. I'm not in charge of anything. I just help out a bit on the side.

I guess the 404 means it's still uploading right?

I was wondering this too because I used the Captivate Kernel and ICS_4.0.1_r1-alpha7.zip release but I'm getting a bootloop. I'll try again though, or just start over.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Also, just a side note, this thread is pretty basic right now. As time goes on we will update it with more information. I'm really tired so I'm going to sleep once this upload finishes, but tomorrow I will work on making the thread more complete.
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
Thanks for clarifying. I just wanted to confirm it was the same, so I wouldn't have to flash all over again, it takes a while to get everything set up :P

Also, after the first reboot I feel like most of the sluggishness i had before is gone. It's either because i rebooted, or because i overclocked lol :cool:

Reboots are pretty awesome. :p

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
I have another question, why was a Gingerbread(JVT) build.prop used? Also when you upload the Captivate version would you mind editing it to make it say SGH-I897/captivate in all the right places?

[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Two questions.

There were reports yesterday about alpha 7 possibly messing with the imei. Any info on that?

Also, are the new speed increases in alpha 7 simply the same 2d hw acceleration lib files that have been available for a few days? I had tried those with alpha 6, and while some things were faster (app drawer), i found things to be generally slower (home screen, slight lag after button presses).

Thanks for the ROM devs.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Thanks for all your work guys. Just wondering if there's any issues with imei or losing superuser like the i9000 thread?
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
The OP installation instructions say "if you are flashing for the first time" but it doesnt say anything about what you need to flash it for the first time. What if im on stock 2.2 or 2.3.3 or some custom rom? What do I do then? It's not clear and i feel like many people don't know where to start off from, myself included.
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Should be able to flash over just about anything.
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
I just flashed from Mosaic 8 with i9000 bootloaders and only had a minor problem. Did the double flash and got it to boot, but couldn't save any APNs, my IMEI number was all screwy and my basband was empty. Everything pointed to my Simlock being on, which it was but I can't disable it (thanks Rogers).

I found THIS post by maverick340.

My basband was unknown so I flashed a jvt modem and things started working.

A list of APNs came up on their own, my imei number was fixed, and my baseband was showing the modem I just flashed.

Set the 99enable3G script up and 3g is now working along with just about everything else.

Hey Guys,

I want to flash the beta 1. When I get into recovery mode and choose install zip from sd card, it says:

installing update...

ICS Beta1 ... etc.

then:

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/updater.sh")==0

error in /sdcard/ICS_....zip

status 7

installation aborted.

any idea what could be wrong? I allready downloaded the zip twice. I'm coming from darky rom. I allready flashed a based rom with just cwm installed and tried it again, but the same message came up.

Never mind: I flashed Kernel first, then rebooted recovery, so I got CWM 5....

No its installing and hopefully boot up after reflashing and doing the over stuff.

you might wanna put that in the OP with CWM from DC not working.
[Captivate Android Development] madamimadam:
beta1 feels more like an RC1

[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I find things very confusing, op seems clearer now but doesn't work for me. I've tried flashing the beta 1 rom twice, that's fine but I cant get the kernel in the op to work, just bootloops from the att screen to the kernel screen and around and around. The beta 1 rom only boots for me with the a7 kernel. Not sure what I'm doing but I'm relatively stable like this. great work devs

[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Well, the battery life seems really good so far, not quite like newer GB builds but it can last 14 or 15 hours easy, depending on usage. Mostly likely because the kernel does not have all the tweaks in it.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Until they fix the camera (unless they did in v2) this one is much better. This one you get a fully functional camera and panorama, while when I tried the original version of hacksung the camera preview was totally busted and even clicking on the panorama button froze the phone completely.

Now that the 3G works sans script in this, everything else is pretty much the same.

EDIT: I take it back. I flashed v3 of team hacksung and it's now much better than this.
